[Verse 1]
Oh, you'll never get to heaven in the state you're in
You'll never get to heaven with the pill you're taking
No, you'll never get to heaven when it all falls through
But I'll be there when you want me to

[Verse 2]
And you'll never get to heaven with a heart of stone
No, you'll never get to heaven if you stand alone
And no, you'll never get to heaven in an empty shell
Never get to heaven in an empty shell

[Chorus]
Oh but I, I just wanna shut my eyes
And wash you clean, when it don't come easily
The kind word I keep for you

[Verse 3]
And you'll never get to heaven if you fight a war
You'll make nothing down here worth fighting for
And no, you'll never get to heaven with a sword and shield
Never get to heaven with the wound you wield
Never get to heaven with a sword and shield

[Chorus]
Oh but I, I just wanna shut my eyes
And wash you clean, when it don't come easily, oh
The love I gave to you
[Outro]
And you'll never get to heaven when it all falls through
But I'll be there when you want me to
I'll be there when you want me to
